Kings Royal 2018 - Format

July 9th, 2018, 09:56 AM

I've heard there was to be a change to the format this year... that Friday night's program had implications towards Saturday. Has anyone heard anything like this or know where a format is posted? Personally I think this would be a great idea. Something among the lines of locking Friday's top 2, 3, or 4 finishers into Saturdays feature.

Winners Thursday and Friday get pick of where they qualify on Saturday. Whoop-di-do.

Thats actually a pretty big deal in my opinion. Fast qualifiers like sweet, gravel, stewart, pittman, mcmahan, madsen bros I think would be able to pick a qualifying spot to land them near the front of their heat. Pretty rewarding with the KR format.

The format is a little different for the Kings Royal. The 5 fast qualifiers have to start on the 3rd row. I think you really want to be like 19th to 30th to start on the front row. So while it isn't exactly a whoop di do, it will be a crapshoot and may not be an advantage at all. Or it could be a big advantage if they time it perfectly.

Comment

Will more likely try to get early qualifying time to time fast as they can because the fastest two qualifiers who do not transfer through heats and b start 19th and 20th in A followed by the 4 b main transfers.
